Rob/Shoebox has put together a technical data page that really rocks… pictures of many of the parts that mystify people showing the locations, etc. And some great “how to” info…

Take a look, and bookmark it for future reference… sooner or later you are going to need it…:D.

=========

Some other good sites for info on the 4th Gen F-Body:

FAQ on the 4th Gens, differences from year to year, tech questions and common problems, basic mod info:

[4TH GEN FAQ](http://www.f-body.org/faq/4/index.htm)

A similar list of specs, but they get sloppy on the LS1 cars.

Brent also has a list of links, tech guides, etc. on his home page:

As we all know, the 1993 F-body models are “different”… you know… “odd” 😃

Thanks to Danno for suggesting this link.

here’s another good technical information source (not specifically f-body). It’s Jim McFarland’s site. They used to charge for downloads but they are doing it free now. The latest “lecture” is “Cylinder Heads & Power”. You can get it at:

Packed with some really good information and yes as said one is going to need this info one day or another and the images involved in the link really prove to be useful in understanding technical terms and details even to a new comer.
